Abstract The transfer and teaching of programming and programming related skills has become, increasingly difficult on an undergraduate level over the past years. This is partially due to the number of programming languages available as well as access to readily available source code over the Web. Source code plagiarism is common practice amongst many undergraduate students. This practice has a detrimental effect on the presentation of specific content relating to introduction to programming courses. One of the problems identified in the research conducted is that turnaround time with relation to assessment and feedback, which are presented to the students, is a critical factor in the subsequent success rates of the subject. This paper investigates, utilizing a literature review, how plagiarism detection metrics and a framework for providing effective feedback to students and educators could be implemented to enhance the teaching and learning processes. The predominant technique used for detecting plagiarism is to evaluate how a piece of source code was constructed over time. By analyzing the students’ programming patterns, lectures can be adapted to address problem areas and react accordingly. The paper also provides an overview of current metrics used for plagiarism detection and suggests ways of improving the process by including enhanced techniques for the gathering of metrics over time as well as suggesting ways to use the metrics to aid learning on all cognitive levels. Some of the key considerations presented as part of this research include effective feedback mechanisms and real-time responses to plagiarism as well as contributing towards learning on different cognitive levels.

The Peruvian Water Resources Law (Ley de Recursos Hídricos 29338) aims to promote educational programs on the importance of water (Art. 3, section 3). On the other hand, PUCP seeks to analyze and reflect on the current way of teaching to develop a new teaching method. The “Safe Water Industry in the City and Innovation Management” (La Industria del Agua Potable en una Ciudad y la Gestión de la Innovación) intends to develop an active and collaborative methodology jointly with students, teachers and professionals, while making use of ICT’s to produce training videos about water. Churches’ “Bloom’s Taxonomy for the Digital Era” is employed in understanding and interpreting the advanced learning methodology. / La Ley de Recursos Hídricos 29338 del Perú busca promover programas de educación sobre la importancia del agua; por su parte, la PUCP busca incentivar prácticas de enseñanza docente producto del análisis y de la reflexión sobre cómo se está enseñando. El curso La Industria del Agua Potable en una Ciudad y la Gestión de la Innovación tiene como intención desarrollar una metodología activa y colaborativa con alumnos, expertos y profesores, usando las TIC para producir videos de capacitación sobre el agua. Para la comprensión e interpretación de la forma de aprendizaje desarrollado se usa la Taxonomía de Bloom para la Era Digital, de Andrew Churches.
